New Twist In Sodus Double Murder

Sodus, N.Y. - The ex-wife of one of the victims shot to death in Sodus last week has been arrested.

Charlene Childers was arrested in Wayne County as a fugitive from justice out of Texas. She is the ex-wife of Joshua Niles who was shot and killed last week with his girlfriend, Amber Washburn.

Timothy Dean, a former police chief in Texas and Childers' current boyfriend, was arrested on Sunday as well for attacking and hurting a child back in May. Texas Rangers say he's a suspect in a major crime in Sodus -- and they're working with the Wayne County Sheriff's Office

Childers and Niles recently had been in a custody battle that resulted in the father receiving custody of their children.
